And the combined brush and water control, and the spontaneity, really do teach.

Hi Anastasia. I am glad I found your channel and page on IG. I have never paint but I would love to learn. Could you make a video with the basics stuffs? Thank you 🌼

[@AnastasiaMily]

Hi Luisi, thank you so much for watching my videos! I focus more on landscape demonstrations here on my channel but there are plenty of basics watercolour videos on KZbin too - if you search for “watercolour for absolute beginners” I am sure you will have an amazing selection of tutorials from different artists

[@antoninabartol3079]

Super 👍

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you!

[@mollieweverka446]

Very much enjoyed your feathers video! Can you please share the name of your very fine brush you used for the ‘fluffy bits’? Thanks so much…now I’m hooked, just subscribed!

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed this video! That brush is called a Needle Point brush and it is by an Australian company called NEEF.

[@mollieweverka446]

@@AnastasiaMily Thank you!

[@awatercolourist]

Hi Anastasia! This is a very beautiful video; thanks for making it. What are the names of the paints that you used here? Especially the blue, its so rich and deep yet still airy.

[@awatercolourist]

Sorry, I just noticed the names. Thanks!

[@AnastasiaMily]

@@awatercolourist no problem! Thank you for watching - glad you are enjoying the video :)

[@scottadams1061]

What brand of paint was the Buff Titanium?

[@AnastasiaMily]

Daniel Smith

[@user-es5dq6vc1h]

Can you lease tell me the name of the pointed brush you use

[@AnastasiaMily]

It is called a needle point brush by an Australian company called NEEF, you can find the full details in the description. These brushes are sometimes called reservoir brushes too

[@richsuhee]

I love your watercolor tutorials, but I find it hard to concentrate on the painting because I have to read the text descriptions at the same time. It would be a great help if you could do a voice-over instead. Thank you so much for your amazing content!

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you for watching! So sorry but I do not have the time and the space to do the voiceovers at this stage of my life. I create my videos in my living room with my family around me, there is background noise and distractions. The current format is the one that lets me continue to share my knowledge of watercolour with you and release new videos regularly. Maybe you could pause the video to read? Or watch it first to read and then paint along. I appreciate your understanding.
